Why don't we just make a new release ? We've got several thousand commits since that release - and many people directly using master branch, because there wasn't any actual release for many years now.
Xorg is minimally maintained these days, mostly handling security bugs and fixes that affect other X servers such as Xwayland.
That's not entirely correct. There's a lot other work been done, and even a very long list of MRs still waiting for merge. (haven't even started submitting new features) But it seems, certain people here really **want** Xorg to become dead, and do not want to see anything besides critical bugfixing and Xwayland being merged ever. Frankly, yes, I meanwhile really have the impression that actual goal of this project is nothing less than slowly killing Xorg. @Emil: freel free dig into the MR discussions (on gitlab) and see it with your own eyes.
